I know what I’m playing tonight
maybe if any of those open source github alternatives were actually any decent, most of the “github alternatives” I find don’t even have a functioning search…
EDIT: I also find that github’s discoverability (like this https://github.com/topics/activitypub?l=rust&o=desc&s=updated) is actually great I find so many cool projects using it
Can a webpage glow any harder?
The futo applications are nice, it’s a shame about their licence, I hope they solve it soon so people can start shipping them.
does it? man facebook was bad when I ditched it a few years ago, but that’s even more annoying.
There are good reasons not to federate, Legality is kinda murkey when it comes to stuff like this. Federation could (not saying it would) be used as a weapon against them. I mean, there are all sorts of instances on the federated networks, many of which do not comply with US law. Not just the real shitty stuff, But even instances that just don’t care about DMCA for instance. It could simply be that Federation is just way too much of a hassle, which I really couldn’t blame them. I did try to host my own federated service instance and it was just kinda too much.
I just use thunder-app, Fast and good UI, free and open source. A really nice app.
Working with android can be a bit of a pain for sure. I’m only talking about android here since that’s all I’ve tested, so don’t apply what I am saying to chromium, Android and Chromium are two seperate projects, by two separate teams. but in the end it’s important to realize that google has actually needs for these devices. As long as you work within the bounds of needs it’s actually not that hard to actually work with. Android has a LOT of stuff for sure.
Android actually allows you to configure most things (granted the documentation is absolutely horrid, Grep my beloved). It is true that most android phones are running proprietary stuff, but this isn’t really any fault of google. Google has gone to fairly great lengths to make AOSP a fairly open ecosystem. Nearly every rom is heavily customized as per customers requirements. AOSP can actually run on most hardware fairly easily. Hell it even works just fine on the vanilla kernel (Waydroid for instance). The Issue is that it’s nearly impossible to market consumer devices with only FOSS/AOSP stuff, the margins on phones are actually terrible. The biggest issue is finding a phone that can accommodate the more open stuff, not the issue with google pushing crap. In the end Google is making devices for people who will fight tooth and nail to grab the gun to shoot themselves in the foot. A lot of their motivations are based on that. But doing your own AOSP is still easy enough. Just need hardware for it.
Chromium and AOSP are not good examples for what you’re saying. Both Chromium and Android have thriving ecosystems of forks and alternatives based on them. Built on the work that Google is doing with them. So I really don’t think those are good examples of applications that aren’t healthy because you can just use a fork.
Yes, Google controls upstream, but there’s no reason why you can’t use downstream.As you said, it puts maintenance burden on the forks, but people are willing to do that. That’s the thing.
EDIT: This is my off account, So, unfortunately, you’ll have to take my word for it, but I did used to be part of an Android ROM team in the past and still do Android work private sector today.
I find that fair, but at the same time, proton has a rocksolid history at this point. OFC they will likely add their features to it, and maybe remove some. But im the end its still open source and under gpl licence, so its not like proton cam change that unless they remove all other commits.
I personally use an expected keyboard. Really nice, especially if you use termux. FCITX5 for Android is another good keyboard if you like the more AOSP style keyboard that supports other characters

Unfortunately using codeberg itself is kinda crap. Its not the worst thing in the world, but it still has zero discoverability , and is missing features like code search.
it does have potential though if it is resilient.
its easy enough to send angry shit to every server, dmca and whatever rights violations they can think up, and it can become an issue.
Of course, the Federation is great, but you still need an instance that’s in one of those privacy-oriented countries.
and yet, they still obey them…
the issue isn’t federation or anything like that, the issue is finding a repo hosting service in a dmca resilient country
Neverwinter, will entertain me all day long
Not tailscale, but I have used zerotier as an alternative and it worked well
I believe steam uses bubblewrap to isolate steam games so you should be relatively safe
